Extension Installation

The ControlTier commander extension extends the AntDepo framework to include a number of Ant tasks and the Workbench client library.

This document describes how to install the commander extension.

The core steps of the ControlTier client installation are the same for all platforms:

1. Download the extension
2. Install the extension

The first step is to download the software. Refer to the ControlTier download page for information about getting the software.

The second step is to install the extension into the framework. This is done via the ext-setup command. The command usage is shown below:

$ ext-setup
usage: ext-setup [options]
options:
 -S,--nosetup          don't re-run setup
 -D <property=value>   property=value pair used during extension setup
 -f,--file             file to install
 -h,--help             print this message
 -o,--overwrite        overwrite framework with files from extension
Examples:
ext-setup -f extension-name.jar  

The extension contains a number of configuration defaults that will probably need to be overridden. The following command shows the ext-setup command's support of key/value pairs to override defaults.

ext-setup -f /path/to/commander-extension-3.0.jar \
	-D workbench.port=8080 \
	-D workbench.host=adm.yourdomain \
	-D workbench.username=readonly  \
	-D workbench.password=readonlypass
